Whoa! Mega-windy day today! I think that may have been the hardest 9:20 pace run I've ever done. Had a hard time getting out of bed today and hearing the tornado sounds outside wasn't help the motivation factor.
But Kim and I finally got going about 7:30 and promptly headed west so the wind was at least at our backs for the first while. It was actually quite pleasant those first miles until we had to finally turn back east and head face-first into the wind. Not so fun coming back up through the river bottoms and up heartbreak hill.
Parted ways with Kim around 10 or 11 miles then finished up with 6 more solo that mostly felt like a death march, even when the wind was at my back. Just glad to get this one in the books. But I won't complain much, for the most part February was good to us runners as far as weather and I quite enjoyed most every run. I actual enjoyed much of today's run as well, other than the death march section.
